Definitions
- This invention relates to a method for producing cut fresh curd blocks, wherein curd blocks are formed using at least one block former, subsequently cut and discharged for further handling.
- This invention also relates to a cheese production apparatus in which the method can be applied.
- the invention is suitable in particular for use in the production of cheddar cheese and similar cheese types.
- the curd is pre-drained and dried, for instance in a cheddar machine of the type Alfomatic, and the curd thus obtained is so treated that pieces of curd, commonly referred to by the term of (curd) chips, are formed.
- the chips are fed to the top of a block former column, in which further consolidation and drainage occur.
- a horizontal blade is disposed, commonly referred to as guillotine blade.
- the guillotine blade in the rest position closes off the underside of the block former and is retracted at predetermined intervals, so that the pillar of curd situated in the block former can move downwards.
- the pillar of curd is supported by a platform, also moving downwards, which in turn is supported and controlled by a pneumatic cylinder or the like.
- the guillotine blade moves into the rest position again, whereby a block of curd is cut off.
- the blocks are pushed from under the guillotine blade by a push cylinder.
- the block passes a guide means, which can be designed as a short horizontal tube of rectangular cross section and which terminates in front of a conveyor track.
- a plastic bag of a suitable material for instance polyethylene.
- a block so packed in a bag is discharged via the conveyor track, which conventionally comprises a conveyor extending in transverse direction along a number of block formers.
- the bags are closed and evacuated.
- the blocks can then be transported to a storage room to ripen.
- PCT patent application WO 93/22903 discloses a method of the above-described type, in which a curd block cut off by the guillotine blade, commonly referred to as "green cheese” block, prior to being packaged, is first divided into smaller portions using a number of horizontal and/or vertical blades. The blades cut through the curd block and the portions formed can then be separated and be separately packaged. Packaging occurs at some distance from the block former. The thus packaged curd blocks can then ripen further.
- curd blocks are being cut up, or prior thereto, they are trimmed, that is, cut on the outside to a neat rectangular block with straight edges.
- a drawback of this known technique is that the blocks produced by a block former are sometimes very fragile. This holds in particular during the preliminary phase of the production and/or if slight malfunctions have occurred in the equipment. In such situations the curd blocks obtained may exhibit a lesser coherence than would normally be the case. If such a block is cut, this can easily give rise to damage, for instance local crumbling, which is undesired.
- a drawback of trimming is that it entails trimming losses.
- the object of the invention is to obviate the drawback outlined and generally to provide a method and apparatus by means of which blocks produced by a block former can be cut into smaller blocks in an efficient and reliable manner.
- a method of the above-described type is characterized in that a curd block, after leaving a block former, is placed in a conveying holder, that the conveying holder is brought to a pressing station, and that the curd block in the conveying holder is briefly pressed in the pressing station and is subsequently transported further to a removal station where the curd block is removed from the conveying holder to be subsequently fed to a cutting device.
- a cheese production apparatus comprising at least one block former and a conveyor track passing along the block former(s) is characterized, according to the invention, in that the conveyor track is arranged to convey conveying holders which in operation receive a curd block in a transfer station at the block former(s) and deliver the curd block in a removal station, and that the conveying holders, between a transfer station and a removal station, pass a pressing station where a curd block in a conveying holder is briefly pressed, and wherein a cutting device is provided following the transfer station for cutting a curd block.
- EP-A-0 336 649 discloses a method and apparatus for producing moulded cheese blocks, wherein cheese blocks are produced by means of a tubular perforated column.
- the blocks of cheese are received in a mould below the column.
- the moulds are subsequently transported along a number of pressing stations where the cheese blocks in the moulds are pressed at relatively high pressure in order to obtain a firm rind.
- a sub-atmospheric pressure is created.
- the cheese blocks are demoulded and transported to either a packaging station or a cooling zone and a brining system.
- Fig. 1 diagrammatically shows in top plan view an example of a part of a cheese production apparatus 1 in which the invention is applied.
- the cheese production apparatus shown comprises a number of block formers 2, four in the example shown.
- a transfer station 3 is arranged, in which the curd block produced by the block former are transferred to suitable conveying holders in a manner to be described in more detail hereinafter.
- a conveying holder, while receiving a block, is sitting on a conveyor 4, which at that moment is not driven, or which passes under the conveying holder without carrying it along.
- a suitable conveyor is, for instance, a carrier pawl conveyor, known per se, but other types of conveyors can also be used.
- suitable detectors known per se, such as, for instance, light barriers and/or proximity switches and the like can be used.
- Figs. 2-4 each show a conveying holder 5 disposed on the conveyor 4 in a transfer station 3 in different phases of the transfer of a curd block.
- Fig. 2 schematically shows the lower portion 6 of a block former and a curd block 7, produced by the block former, which has already been pushed to some extent from under the block former with the aid of means known per se, not shown.
- the conveying holder 5 is disposed just under the level of the curd block 7 and has a bottom 8 adapted to move up and down.
- a lift cylinder 9 with a stamp 10 is present, which is disposed under the conveyor track.
- the curd block 7 can therefore be pushed onto the bottom disposed in its uppermost position, as indicated by an arrow 11.
- guide plates 12 of which one is visible, can be arranged on opposite sides of the path of the block as viewed in the direction of displacement (arrow 11).
- the guide plates can be stationary or travelling plates.
- a travelling plate 13 can be used, so that during displacement the curd block is supported by guide means on three sides.
- the bottom 8 can be moved down.
- the block then descends gradually into the conveying holder and in doing so is guided by the walls of the conveying holder and, insofar as and as long as the block still projects above the conveying holder, by the guide plates.
- Fig. 2 further shows the frame 14 of the conveyor track and the pawls 15 of the pawl conveyor used in this example.
- Fig. 3 shows in a similar view to Fig. 2 the situation where a curd block 7 descends into a conveying holder 5, as indicated by an arrow 16.
- the bottom 8 is in the lowermost position and the curd block 7 is received entirely within the conveying holder.
- the conveying holder is now ready to be conveyed further. Whether the conveyor is in fact switched on at that time, or the conveying holder is released, can depend on the phase the transfer process at other block formers served by the same conveyor is in. According to one possible practical method of operation, before conveyance commences, there is a waiting period until at each block former a filled conveying holder is ready.
- the curd block disposed in the conveying holder is briefly pressed.
- This short pressing step is illustrated in Fig. 5 and can occur in a separate pressing station, indicated schematically at 40 in Fig. 1.
- the pressing station can be provided with a press cylinder 19, as shown in Fig. 5, which is disposed above the conveying holder and which can exert the desired pressure on the curd block via a pressure plate 20 fitting into the conveying holder and bearing on the curd block 7.
- a multiple pressing station with a number of (rows of) pressing positions can be used, the number of pressing positions being related to the number of block formers and the desired duration of pre-pressing.
- the stability of the curd block is increased, thereby preventing damage to the curd block while it is being cut into smaller pieces prior to packaging. Also, it has been found that pre-pressing reduces the trimming losses considerably at the least. An increase of the stability can also be desirable to prevent deformation of the freshly packaged cheese without using temporary support forms of, for instance, plastic or cardboard. Also, curd blocks which have been produced shortly after a block former has been set into operation or shortly before the end of a production cycle of a block former can have a lesser stability than the curd blocks produced during the rest of the production cycle. In those cases too, a pressing step for increasing the coherence of a curd block provides advantages.
- a common (multiple) pressing station for all block formers is shown. It is also possible, however, to arrange a separate, preferably multiple, pressing station at each block former. Optionally, a combination of a transfer station and a pressing station is possible. Similarly, a common cutting device, as shown schematically at 41 in Fig. 1, can be used. Alternatively, if several pressing stations are present, for each pressing station or for a number of pressing stations a separate associated cutting device can be present. In this respect, diverse variants will readily occur to those skilled in the art.
- an interposed buffer conveyor 18, 18' can be used, which has a buffer function.
- the buffer conveyor 18, 18' can, for instance, be a conveyor of the pawl, chain or apron type.
- a plastic chain or apron conveyor can be used.
- the blocks After the blocks have been pre-pressed in a pressing station, the blocks are removed from the conveying holders in a removal station 21 and fed to a cutting device 41. After passing a separating device 42, following the cutting device, the cut portions or cubes are fed to an automatic packaging apparatus 17.
- the cutting device can be designed, for instance, in the manner shown in WO 93/22903.
- Fig. 6 shows a removal station 21 arranged to remove a curd block from a conveying holder. This can be done by repeating the operations carried out in the transfer stations 3 substantially in reverse order.
- Fig. 6 schematically shows a frame 24 of the conveyor 18, with a lift cylinder 25 under it, which is provided with a stamp 26 by which the bottom of a conveying holder with a curd block can be moved up.
- Fig. 6 shows a curd block 7 which has already been moved up in part.
- the removal station 21 can be provided with guide means for the curd block.
- guide means is shown at 27 in Fig. 6. Operative between the guide means 27 is a pusher plate 29, operated by a cylinder 28, which can push a curd block over the fully lifted bottom 8 in the direction of a cutting device 41.
- the empty conveying holders can be returned to the transfer stations 3 via a return conveyor track 34.
- the return conveyor track first leads the conveying holders through a rinsing tunnel 35 for cleaning the conveying holders.
- the cutting device is followed by a separating device 42 in which the smaller blocks obtained by the cutting operation can be separated from each other. If desired, it is also possible, of course, not to separate the cubes and to package them jointly.
- the separating device 42 is followed by an automatic packaging apparatus 17, which can place the cubes in plastic bags and can evacuate the filled bags and seal them, for instance through a sealing unit. Such packaging machines are known per se and commercially available.
- a discharge conveyor 33 (Fig. 1) is shown, which can discharge the packaged cubes to, for instance, a cheese store for further ripening.
- curd portions not in bags but, for instance, in evacuated foil trays, in shrink film or by the so-called flow wrapping technique or the like.
- various types of conveyors are usable. These and similar modifications are considered to fall within the scope of the invention.
